I only shoot long-range when I have to. That means if the landscape does not allow me to get closer. I find it more challenging and fun to get close up on the animal before I deliver the shot. It is quite a rush getting a moose on 15 meters before taking the shot. The closest I got last fall was 3-4 meters. One of the moose was standing 2 meters from me when I shot the second one following right behind it. It almost fell with it`s head in my lap. I can assure you that it was real adrenaling kick!
But when that`s said, I have nothing agains shooting animals at long ranges. But the rifle and the ammo must be suitable for the task, and the guy behind the rifle better put in some extra days on the range.
